Al depends on what distribution you are using. But for the prerequisites, have a look in the downloadable documentation

So these are some general guidelines for doing this on an Ubuntu box. Getting all those pieces in prior to install of Sugar will make your install go more smoothly.

To restart Apache - sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Steps to install after system has LAMP stack on it.
On Ubuntu anyways this is pretty easy with commands like
Sudo aptitude install apache2
Sudo aptitude install mysql5
Sudo aptitude install php5

sudo aptitiude install php5-imap

sudo aptitiude install php5-ldap

sudo aptitiude install php5-curl

sudo aptitiude install php5-mcrypt

sudo aptitiude install php5-cli (necessary for cron to run)

Copy Sugar to /var/www - this is the root of Apache2 Just create a sugarxxx folder. Preferably noting the version number. Make it lower case as Apache honors the case of the folder name.

Chown -R www-data:www-data * from within the newly created folder.

MySQL admin root

Setup scheduler

add line to crontab -e
taken from scheduler screen

HI All,

Just an additional information about setting up scheduler

Insted of using crontab -e, I suggest you to add entry in /etc/crontab

It give a little more flexibility

Thanks,
